St Paul's Church, Clapham

St Paul's Church is an Anglican place of worship in Clapham built with brick walls and a classical design reflecting its era. The building features generous windows and traditional proportions that create a sense of scale and presence in the neighborhood.

The church was erected in 1815 on a site occupied by a medieval parish church dating back to the 1100s. It became a center of religious change and leadership in the following decades.

The church was a key center for evangelical Christianity in the 1800s and continues to serve as a gathering place for worshippers who value its role in local spiritual life.

The grounds are accessible for self-guided visits when the building is open, and you can wander freely through the main prayer space. Visiting during office hours helps if you need additional information about the building.

The former burial ground has been transformed into a nature garden with hedgerows and native plants that provide shelter for local wildlife. This green space demonstrates how historic cemeteries can become havens for the community and the creatures living there.
